The best restaurants in Venice. Restaurants in Venice: reviews, descriptions and cuisine
It is clear that you can enjoy the beauties and views of Venice almost endlessly. But sooner or later you will want to eat. Naturally, all the time in the air, on foot, the sea of impressions. I will tell you where to eat tasty and inexpensive in Venice.
Traveled around Venice and shares his impressions
Venice restaurants on the map
The map shows the cafes and restaurants described in this article. Of course, there are many more of them in Venice, but I noted those that I know where I myself have been and that I am not ashamed to advise.
Snack on the go
The most economical option would be to buy water or other drinks, bread and other ingredients for sandwiches in a supermarket, where the same sausage and cheese can be immediately cut at your request. Supermarkets also sell ready-made sandwiches, but it is better to warm them up, but this service is not available in the store. And for the price, such a purchase will be more expensive than the sandwich you made.
Fruits and vegetables bought at the market will also diversify your walking diet. And for a while, you can “freeze the worm”.
Supermarkets in Italian are written "Supermercato", but sometimes it is easier to find them by the names of retail chains: "Conad", "Coop", "Punto Simply".
Signs in bright red or Green colour, sliding doors are also signs of a supermarket. Large supermarkets can be found in Campo Santa Margherita and Strada Nuova. Markets can be found at the Rialto Bridge, at Campo Santa Margherita and on the promenade of the Cannaregio Canal. They work from early morning until noon.
Trattoria on the bank of one of the canals.
This walk is not only for those who want to have a good time, but also for those who want to find out what the Venetians do in the evenings and where they hide from tourists.
Bars occupy an important place in the life of Italy and every Italian. This is a universal place, a social network of the last century, here in most cases the day of a resident of the Apennine Peninsula begins, and here it ends.
Coffee break
Being in Italy, and even more so, in Venice, and not having a cup of coffee is completely wrong.
Coffee will be served to you in any establishment. For a hot drink, I recommend taking something from pastries, for example, a croissant. They are here, as a rule, with two or three fillings: chocolate and a couple of types of jam.
"Jam" in Italian "marmalata", has nothing to do with marmalade.
You can generally go inside the cafe to start, look at the shop window. Sweet buns, paninas (buns stuffed with cheese, ham, arugula), sweets are presented there, as a rule, in a fair amount.
Coffee, depending on the category of cafe and the place where it is located, varies in price not too much: from 1 euro to 3. Croissants from 2 to 3 euros, pastries - up to 4-5. Paninas are quite satisfying. A cup of coffee with a croissant or panina will keep you going for hours.
Lovers just to drink a cup good coffee I advise the bar Blackjack Bar center: in Campo San Luca, to the right of the H&M store (see map).
If you go from Campo San Bartolomeo along Calle del Lovo (for reference: to the right of the exit from the Rialto Bridge or from the Goldoni monument all the time straight ahead) after five or six minutes of a quiet walk, on your left you will see a coffee shop for tourists, it is called "Pasticceria Ponte del Lovo". It is impossible not to recognize her: the windows are lined with cans and packages of Venetian coffee. A classic interior is visible through the showcases: antique twisted armchairs, round tables, curtains on the windows. Fortunately, although at a more expensive price (3.5-4 euros), you will be offered typical Venetian sweets for coffee. Particularly good "Doge Bread"(“Pane del Doge”), it costs, of course, not cheap, 6-7 euros, but raisins, candied fruits, almonds, baked in shortcrust pastry with honey, and even warmed up before getting to your table, are worth it, to try it at least once.
If somewhere you see that coffee in an institution costs about 50 euro cents, do not take it in any case: you will be served a liquid hot surrogate like a weak instant coffee, and no, even the most wonderful, croissants will save the impression (verified on personal experience).
That's the trouble with tea in Italy. There is no tradition of tea drinking here. You will be offered tea bags. With juices, there is also tension. Drink in Italy only freshly squeezed orange juice. The rest of the juices, such a feeling, are not even known here. Get ready for it.
It's just a sandwich.
Ice cream
The famous Italian ice cream (gelato) is sold in special gelaterias. On the sign it says: Gelateria. True, more often it is not the name that catches the eye, but metal cuvettes covered with glass showcases with multi-colored sweet filling.
Gelateria are usually located on crowded streets, at the exits to the embankments, close to vaporetto stops, on large squares. Prices differ quite a bit between them.
The choice and prices depend on the place where the gelateria is located: the more crowded the area, the higher the price will be. The basis also affects the cost of the purchase: either you buy waffle cone, or a cardboard cup. From experience I can say that the taste of the ice cream itself does not depend on the glass. You can eat a lot of this sweet, the choice is usually large. For some time, you will be distracted from the appetite that has developed.
Where to have breakfast in Venice
Venice only seems to be a round-the-clock holiday. After 10-11 pm the city gradually goes to sleep, only rare restaurants are open until one or two in the morning. In the morning, Venice is cheerful again and ready to receive new guests.
It should be borne in mind that there is only one way to move around the city - on foot, therefore, more time is needed to explore the surroundings. So, you need to get up earlier.
The solution to the breakfast issue partly depends on where you are staying. In hotels, breakfast is usually included in the price. In all other cases, you can use any of the previously listed ways to eat. Markets open early in the morning - fresh fruits and vegetables at a very inexpensive price will be on your table. In supermarkets, it is better to buy groceries in the evening (do not run in the morning). It will be much cheaper than going to a cafe.
Venetian cafe in good location and with a good view.
If you still want to go to a cafe, then establishments located on the most important tourist trails will help you out here. These are small cafes, which, for example, are very numerous on Strada Nuova, on Rio Terra Lista di Spagna (the street that goes to the left of the station building), on the way from Piazzale Roma (see the article "Where to stay in Venice") or on Campo Santa Margherita.
Cafes open: from 7 am. By your arrival there will be ready-made pastries: buns, paninas, croissants. Coffee with a couple of croissants and panina with ham will cost you about 10-11 euros.
At 9 o'clock you can already order pasta or something no less serious. You can read more about this and how to recognize such cafes in the "Hot Lunch" section.
Of the establishments that I know myself, I highly recommend the cafe, which is located directly opposite the Domus Civica hostel. The bar at We Crociferi hostel is open from 8:00, where you can also have a hearty breakfast. Breakfast in the courtyard of a medieval monastery, excellent coffee with excellent pastries, fast service and a warm welcome - in my opinion, an excellent start to the day.
Pizzerias in Venice open at 9-11 am, restaurants much later. But you don't need them yet. Panina and coffee will give you a good boost of energy for hiking in Venice.
hot lunch
You can distract yourself from the approaching hunger for the time being. There will come a time when your body will send you persistent signals demanding total nourishment.
To solve this problem, numerous cafes with a traditional tourist menu are at your service: several types of pasta, several types of pizza, one or two Italian dishes like gnocchi (Italian dumplings served as a separate dish with various sauces) or Milanese cutlets with a side dish , perhaps an addition in the form of a salad, coffee, pastries, beer, wine.
A plate of pasta, coffee and a bun will cost 10-15 euros.
Pasta is a hearty and nutritious thing, besides, sauces give it a special taste. In many cafes you will find, for example, pasta with cuttlefish ink, this dish is considered traditional for Venice. Unaccustomed to the color, it scares off a little, but it does not affect the taste and price in any way. A plate of pasta costs 7-8 euros. Gnocchi at the same price.
pizza price varies depending on content: from 7 to 9 euros. It is, of course, not gigantic in such cafes, as in pizzerias, and sometimes they can put canned fish instead of natural tuna. But the dough and tomato paste, sauce and spices will be natural, the pizza will be fresh and hot, and the price will not be the same as in a restaurant.
There is also a wonderful Italian dish on the menu: lasagna. It happens that two, or even three types. 8-10 euros for lasagna It’s not a pity to give away - you will be full for a long time.
You will find many such cafes on the most crowded streets leading from the station or Piazzale Roma into the depths of Venice. That is, where there is a large flow of people, there will be these cafes. You can distinguish them from restaurant-type establishments by simple small tables and a folding panel-rack standing in front of the cafe with a thick A4 sheet attached to it - this is the menu. Or laminated pages can be bound into a book and stacked on that very folding panel.
Pizza is a traditional Italian dish.
Restaurants in Venice
And now it's time to move on to institutions of higher rank - to restaurants. There are also many of them in Venice and they are divided into different types and types: restaurants, osteria, trattorias, rosticcherias, taverns and pizzerias.
- Restaurants- this is clear to everyone.
- Osteria and trattoria- restaurant-type establishments, but with a more democratic way, with prices lower than restaurant prices, specializing in local or national cuisine. They differ from restaurants in that there is no menu stand in front of the entrance to osteria and trattoria. Barkers often stand in front of restaurants, usually not in front of osterias, trattorias and pizzerias.
- taverns- These are small establishments with a simple design inside, with almost homemade, rustic cuisine.
- Rostichcheria- These are fast hot food establishments where you can eat meat and buy a semi-finished product home. I don't think it's necessary to talk about pizzerias.
The main rule for those who come to Venice: do not go to restaurants and other establishments in the San Marco area: from Piazza San Marco to Rialto.
Restaurants here are a dime a dozen, crowds of tourists, establishments are always packed to capacity. And since there is no end to the clientele, then often the owners do not bother themselves too much with caring for the quality of the food on offer. Advertising posters can scream in all directions about the true Venetian cuisine, about the exclusive cooking system, about the chef's secret recipes - do not believe it. Do not believe also those menus that indicate the tourist assortment. This is usually a standard set of three courses not the highest quality. And the service will not amaze you with hospitality and helpfulness. Therefore, before the trip, sit on the forums, search the Internet, study the map to determine the direction to the restaurant you are interested in.
Remember what to find good restaurant you can always, if you go straight and then a little sideways.
Jokes aside, but it is in the yards and at unexpected turns that you will find quality food, relatively low prices and decent service. I wrote about two restaurants in the very center in an article. It was about "Al Conte Pescaor" and "Taverna Al Remer". Now I will add a few more establishments, the quality of which I am sure, since I myself have been there.
Nice restaurant close to the center
On Campo Santa Margherita there are cafe-restaurants hidden from the crowds of tourists. Finding them is easy: if you go to this square from the church of San Pantalon and go straight all the time, almost to the Scuola Grande dei Carmini, turn left at the Libreria Marco Polo bookstore, you can find a small alley between houses, right side which consists of cafes and restaurants. Go to the second (name "Osteria Ai Carmini Di Biasotto Daniele"). There you will be offered typical Venetian cuisine: polenta ( corn porridge) with cuttlefish ink and the cuttlefish itself (within 20-25 euros), a huge plate of spaghetti with sea shells(from 18 euros) and much more.
For a light drink, I recommend trying Spritz, a traditional Venetian low alcohol drink- white wine with soda and bitter liquor like Campari. It costs around 2-3 euros per serving. It is quiet and almost deserted here, you will be separated from the noisy square by houses, so you can both relax and talk calmly.
The parallel street, Calle Pazienza, is listed in many directories as the address of this osteria, but it is better to enter from the side I indicated: there are outdoor tables and more space. And it's easier to search.
This is lasagna.
Restaurant with the best view of the lagoon
If you are drawn to romance, and the restaurants by the canals are too crowded and crowded, if you want gourmet cuisine and the most sincere service, if you have time and patience to spare, my advice to you: a long narrow island opposite the main Venice. Stop of the redentore vaporetto. After leaving the vaporetto, turn right and walk along the embankment straight ahead until you turn into a large arch. You will not be able to confuse, she is there alone, inside this passage lies a large boat. Go into the courtyard and follow the signs "Al ristorante". Don't be embarrassed that you went to the repair shops and yacht parking, go straight to the embankment. To the right, at the edge of the brick building, you will see a metal staircase that will lead to the terrace of the restaurant "Al storico da crea". The view from the terrace is measured: almost the entire Venetian lagoon with rare small islands will be in front of your eyes.
Fish restaurant
Fish menu ( I recommend the restaurant "San Pietro": fried fish fillet breaded with spices and baked potatoes, the cost is about 22-27 euros), the best wines, the smile of a charming owner (he doesn’t even mind talking), combined with such a view, will be remembered for a lifetime and will make you come to this restaurant again and again, even though it’s far from getting to it.
The restaurant is open all week except Monday from 10:00 to 17:00 and from 19:00 to 22:00.
Venice Markets
Every morning in the Venetian markets you can buy fresh and cheap vegetables and fruits. There are four main markets in Venice.
The first and main one is the Rialto Market. Rialto consists of two markets: Fish - Pescheria (Pescheria) - and vegetable. They are located next to each other. Finding them is easy: from the Rialto Bridge, you need to go to the square in front of the Church of San Giacomo in Rialto, cross it and go under the colonnade to the Canal Grande embankment. There, go a little more to the left - and you are in the market: first fruits and vegetables, a little further under a stone canopy - fish. They work from 7 am. Fish until 14:00, vegetable - until 17:00. You can get to the Rialto markets by vaporetto number 1, stop "Rialto Mercato".
One of the Venetian markets.
Second Market - on the Cannaregio Canal, next to the Obelisk Bridge. Right to the waterfront (Fondamenta Cannareggio) boats and boats of vegetable merchants moor in the early morning. From 7:00 to 12:00 there is a brisk trade. On foot you will reach the market from the station along the Rio Terra Lista di Spagna (turn left from the station building, do not turn anywhere, go all the way to the Obelisk Bridge - Ponte delle Guglie) or take the vaporetto No. 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2 to the stop " Google.
Third market open from 7:00 to 12:00 at Campo Santa Margherita. This square can be reached on foot from Piazzale Roma (the path to this square is described in detail in the article), turning at Scuola San Rocco towards Campo San Pantalon, or from Campo San Barnaba (vaporetto No. 1 to the Ca' Rezzonico stop) , crossing the bridge and walking a little along the Rio Terra Canal. By the way, at Campo San Barnaba, on the canal of the same name, a small market with boats and boats also operates daily.
Another market you will find in the Castello area on Via Garibaldi. Vaporetto stop No. 1, 4.1, 4.2 "Arsenale", to the right across two bridges along Slavyanskaya Embankment (Riva degli Schiavoni). Immediately from the second bridge, this street goes to the left, where the market is open from 7:00 to 12:00.
In the markets, you can buy vegetables and herbs that you can cook at home, as well as fruits that you can eat on the go. On city streets there are many standpipes with clean drinking water where fruits can be washed. The choice here is always huge, and the prices are so low that you can collect more and not count how much you will spend.
Important little things
In conclusion, I will add that Venetian cuisine, unlike other cuisines in Italy, does not indulge in an abundance of dishes. The set of basic recipes here is quite meager: seafood, rice, local types of pasta, liver, beans. This is explained by the historical and geographical isolation of Venice from the mainland of the country, but what they offer is worth trying and evaluating.
How to read restaurant menus
It must also be remembered that restaurant menu consists of several sections:
- The first - "Antipasti" - has nothing to do with protests against pasta, the word is translated as "snacks".
- Under the first courses - "I Primi Piatti" - here they mean different types of pasta or risotto for a change.
- Soups in Italy are not as thick as ours; soups in Italian menus are always a separate section.
- The main courses include meat and fish culinary compositions with side dishes.
So, in a restaurant, carefully read the menu to calculate the strength.
Service charge
And one more thing: in almost all catering establishments, a service column is included in the bill: “Coperto”, or “Servizio”, - which costs from 1 to 4 euros, depending on the category of cafe or restaurant.
The service includes covering the table with a tablecloth or napkin, serving you by waiters. Sometimes you can find out if such an item is included in the bill, but usually it is. And before you place an order, check if this place can wrap half-eaten food with you. This is not practiced everywhere.
That's all. I hope I helped you get your bearings. We will return to the topic of where to eat in Venice. Good luck with your travels and bon appetit.

If there is one thing in Venice that might disappoint visitors, it is local kitchen. However, this is a matter of taste. But many tourists believe that the Venetian menu could be more varied, and the service in local catering establishments could be more civilized.
When asked where to eat in Venice, the locals will point you to restaurants, cafes, bars and fast foods.
If during your trip you rented an apartment with a kitchen and a stove and you don’t feel sorry for the time for cooking, you can buy groceries at local supermarkets and markets. The Rialto market, mentioned by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice, sells fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, pasta, cheese and aromatic spices. It is fish and pasta that form the basis of the Venetian menu, but meat is not held in high esteem here.
Having visited the best restaurants in Venice, you may be somewhat disappointed. Almost all establishments are very similar and cannot boast of any memorable design “zest” or original author's menu. Forget about Russian restaurants in Venice - they are not here.
Tourists leave the most favorable reviews about such restaurants in Venice:
Ristorante de Pisis- from its terrace offers a beautiful view of the city;
La Terrazza- located on the roof of the Danielino hotel;
Antico Martini- designed in classical style;
restaurant-tavernTrattoria Do Forni- offers dishes prepared according to old Venetian recipes;
La Cusina with an open kitchen;
Be prepared for the fact that prices in Venice restaurants are quite high, and the food may not be as tasty as you expected. The most disappointing establishments are in the central part of the city - the local restaurants are always full, and restaurateurs do not particularly care about the gastronomic satisfaction of their guests.
Speaking of the best cafes Venice, the Venetians themselves and the guests of the city call the star Harry's Bar and, of course, the legendary cafe "Florian". This is a bohemian place: at one time, Byron and Casanova, Rousseau and Hemingway, as well as many other extraordinary personalities, visited the Florian. Naturally, in these cafes in Venice, the prices are also stellar - you will have to pay at least 10 EUR for one cup of coffee.

From here opens beautiful view to the lagoon and the Palace of Rains (Palazzo Ducale). Cipriani is known for its exquisite design, classic cuisine and magical swimming pool.

Its capacity is 85 people. The interior is made in a classic style, underlined by many exquisite details.

This place is quite popular with tourists and locals, so be sure to book a table in advance.
Previously, to the question: “Where to eat in Venice inexpensively, but tasty?” I could only shrug my shoulders in puzzlement and say that this mission is almost impossible, because in Venice most places are designed for tourists, not locals, and therefore they often simply warm up boiled pasta from a nearby store and shamelessly serve them at a price of 12 euro per plate. Wherever it tastes good, it's expensive. Here is such a se la vie.
As it turned out, I was cruelly wrong. In Venice, as in any other city, you just need to know the places, and many of the right places are located not in the backyard, but quite in the center. I share what I tried myself and was satisfied with the combination of price and quality, I can’t say that all the establishments on the list strictly correspond to the concept of economy, but the prices there are quite justified. As proof of the last statement, I cite a simple fact - there are more locals than tourists, and, yes, there are locals, contrary to a common misconception, in Venice.
BAKARI - SNACKS AND WINE
Bacaro (bàcaro) is a purely Venetian invention, the name of these points of the “drink - bite” category comes from the verb “to chat”, which fully reflects the concept of establishments. As a rule, bacari are small bars located in nooks, where wine is poured into glasses and small snacks are served. You need to eat and drink while standing, while actively communicating with others.
Usually, full lunch you can’t do it in bacaro (although in Venice there are places of this type with a kitchen), but in order to kill a worm, they are perfect, and for an evening aperitif they are completely ideal. my favorite is bakaro Do draghi- located near the Campo Santa Margherita square at the address: Dorsoduro 3665, Venezia, Italia.
Here, in addition to wine, polpetta is served - local meatballs, baccala, sandwiches and other small carbohydrate snacks, which in Venice can be consumed in unlimited quantities and without remorse, anyway, there are no cars in the city, you have to walk a lot and for a long time, which means everything will shake up without remainder. .
BIGOLI STATION BIGOI
I don't know about you, but I really love noodle stations in Asia. In Venice, there is also a similar institution, however, they serve not noodles here, but bigoli - Venetian folk pasta, which differs from spaghetti in impressive volumes. They make pasta by hand - no finished product from the supermarket, and they offer a wide variety of fillings, on my own I would like to recommend bigoli with duck meat or a version with cuttlefish - also a Venetian specialty.
And about the pleasant. About prices. A portion of bigoli at the station costs some 5 euros for all the pleasure. It is supposed to eat while standing, and the station is open from 11.00 to 21.30, which is especially convenient, it is not closed for lunch.
Bigoi station address: Calle Crosera, 3829 Dorsoduro San Pantalon Venezia, 30123 Venice

ENOITECA MASCARETA - GREAT WINE AND COMPLETE FOOD
The owner of the establishment, Mauro Lorenzon, is an absolute fan of wine. Its enoteca contains 1000 and one species from all over Italy, however, the cuisine here is exceptional. Risotto and pasta are mainly served with seafood and fish, and the menu always includes oysters, sardines, mussels, cod, which is so beloved by the Venetians, and stewed cuttlefish, no less beloved.
Although the institution is called Enoiteca, it is not just wine bar, in essence, it is closer to the restaurant. Open every day from 19.00 to 2.00 am.

GISLON - VENETIAN SPECIALISTS IN A CANINE SETTING
Gislon - Venetian rosticherie (a small restaurant with homemade dishes, arranged like a diner), you need to go here if you want to try Venetian specialties for absolutely ridiculous money. In addition to baccala, traditional battered seafood, grilled chicken and all kinds of seafood salads (the one with octopus is especially good), local risottos and sweets deserve attention, and, in addition, the place serves the freshest mozzarella.
Service is very fast even at lunchtime. True, the interior of the institution will remind many of the good old student canteen, but, as they say, it is cheap and tasty. Gislon is open daily.

GREAT BURGER CONTE DELL'ORSO
You can sprinkle ashes on your head and curse globalization, but in Italy now the trend is not pasta and pizza, but burgers, over the past year, burgers have bred in all cities of the country, like mushrooms after rain, and this is where the locals go to eat. But let's leave the groans about the traditions and rejoice that the Italians approach burgers the Italian way, that is, they cook them to their taste from the best ingredients and taking into account the seasonality of the products.
One of these Italian hamburgers is open at the Conte dell Orso baccarat, everything is arranged in a simple way: they drink in one hall, eat in the next one, but the interior is very cozy, there is even a piano. The prices, however, are quite reasonable - burgers cost around 15 euros, but one at a time will fill you up for the whole evening ahead.
For those who think that the incisors in a person’s mouth are not just for the beauty of a smile, I advise you to try a hamburger with a horse meat cutlet - it is exceptional here, for those who do not use incisors for their intended purpose, there are also vegetarian options on the menu. Open from 10.30 to 23.00
Address Conte dell'Orso: S. Marco, 5495, 30124 Venezia, tel: +39 041 523 8280
TRADITIONAL CUISINE: AL DIAVOLO E ALL’ACQUASANTA
If you want a completely traditional Venetian dinner, then you should look into the restaurant / osteria Al Diavolo e all’Acquasanta, where traditions are honored and respected, and since mainly locals go here, the menu just suits their tastes. True, there is a catch in this, because traditional Venetian gastronomy differs from Italian cuisine in the understanding of the vast majority of Russians as much as heaven from earth.
So get ready to try something new and unexpected, such as boiled giblets, homemade bigoli with minced meat, cuttlefish in juice with polenta (hominy), potato gnocchi and. However, why do we go to different countries, if not for the sake of experiments, including gastronomic ones.
Restaurant address: San Polo 561b, Calle della Madonna, Venezia, Italia, tel:
+39 041 2770307, tables should be booked in advance.
OSTERIA AL PORTEGO
Osteria Al Portego, although located a stone's throw from San Marco, is not easy to find, so if you want to look here, use the maps on your iPhone.
Inside Al Portego, you can see a poster with prices for services of brothels in Venice in the eighteenth century and learn, for example, that washing the body after intercourse was not included in the cost of visiting a lady. After studying the price list of the brothel, go explore the wine list of Northern Italy (the choice is good here), and you can have a bite at Al Portego with simple Venetian snacks, which include not only sandwiches, but also marinated sardines, deep-fried seafood, meatballs and fried mozzarella.
